SUMMARY:Nigel Wearne Live
DESCRIPTION:Nigel Wearne saunters after dark in the music of the night\, blending blues\, jazz and Americana-noir. Hailing from Gunditjmara country in the deep south of Australia\, he’s a guitarist and multi-instrumentalist with diverse influences such as Nick Cave\, Tom Waits and Rickie Lee Jones. \nNigel has played some of the world’s most prestigious music festivals\, including Hardly Strictly Bluegrass\, MerleFest\, Philadelphia Folk Festival\, Adelaide Guitar Festival (AUS)\, 30A Songwriters Festival\, Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion and the Cambridge Folk Festival (UK). In 2025\, he won the Telluride Blues Challenge at the Telluride Blues & Brews Festival. \nHis sophomore album\, ‘Black Crow’ garnered wide critical acclaim including a 4-STAR review in Rolling Stone\, a nomination for Best Country Album at the Music Victoria Awards and it debuted at #1 on Australia’s AMRAP Charts. His 2023 album\, ‘The Reckoning’ received back-to-back nominations for Best Blues Work at the 2023 & 2024 Music Victoria Awards and a 4-STAR review in The Australian. 2025 marked a return to his roots as a folk songwriter with his latest album ‘The Lone Reckoning’.

SUMMARY:Rob Leines Live
DESCRIPTION:Rob Leines is a touring musician\, singer\, and songwriter who blends blue-collar rock & roll grit with outlaw country swagger. Known as a dedicated “road warrior\,” he plays over 200 high-energy shows a year across the United States. \nBefore pursuing music full-time\, Leines worked as a whitewater raft guide\, a welder in the Pacific oil and gas industries\, and traveled the world repairing turbine engines at power plants.

SUMMARY:Goh Kurosawa Live
DESCRIPTION:Goh Kurosawa\, the “Musical Wakonyosai” or Bicultural Music Samurai\, is a composer-guitarist-singer recognized for his “Lovetap” technique\, percussive elements\, heartfelt singing\, as well as infusing fingerpicking and flamenco with electric guitar pedals. Based in California and traveling the world from Japan\, his original genre blends world music\, jazz\, folk\, rock and even classical. \n“His music takes you to that place where most people have not visited since childhood.”\n“Innovative guitar creations.”\n“California’s Goh Kurosawa is a multi-genre wizard who had the crowd mesmerized before his first song had ended.”\n“International touring musician Goh Kurosawa’s music is beyond any simple classification. The guitarist improvises melodically\, is open to the influences of pop\, rock\, flamenco\, classical\, Latin and Japanese music\, and has his own musical identity. Equally skilled on electric and acoustic guitars\, he uses electrical devices to create a wide range of sounds yet is not shy to embrace a pretty melody.”\n“Goh’s set included Bob Marley’s No Women No Cry\, My Family My Friends (original)\, a Japanese folk song\, and Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah (which he sang).”\nBicultural Music Samurai\nBandcamp\nInstagram\nYouTube \n$20 General Admission\n$15 Students (available in-store or at the door only\, w/ student ID)\n$15 Seniors (available in-store or at the door only\, 65+)\n$10 Kids 12 and Under (available in-store or at the door only)\nThis is a BYOB event! \n

SUMMARY:Kyle Rowland Live @ The Melon Ball

SUMMARY:Slattern V Live
DESCRIPTION:Slattern V is a Sacramento-based rock band known for its gritty\, high-energy sound and local-scene pedigree. Formed in the mid-2010s\, Slattern V emerged as a Sacramento supergroup featuring musicians from regional punk and power-pop acts such as The Knockoffs and Mr. T Experience. Their music blends garage rock\, punk\, and melodic indie influences\, often marked by sharp guitar work and driving rhythms. \nArts & Leisure is a Sacramento\, California indie-pop group featuring former members of Baby Grand\, The English Singles\, and Plastic Shoelaces. Their sound fuses ’60s pop sparkle\, ’70s power-pop hooks\, and ’80s new-wave energy\, creating a super-charged\, harmony-rich style that has become a staple of the region’s DIY pop scene. Their album This Vast Illusion\, produced by Allen Clapp of The Orange Peels\, showcases the band’s signature blend of jangly guitars\, melodic vocals\, and upbeat\, shimmering arrangements. \nNolan Erck of “Nolan & The Last Action Heroes” is a musician\, producer\, writer\, and tech entrepreneur active in the Sacramento creative community. He works across multiple disciplines: building apps\, recording artists\, playing guitar and bass in several bands\, and contributing writing and journalism to Sacramento Press. \nPresented by Left of the Dial\, That California Sound\, and KDRT 95.7 FM \n  \n

SUMMARY:Stage Ready Band Workshops
DESCRIPTION:Seven weekly rehearsals. Two live performances. One unforgettable summer. \nWhether you’ve dreamed of joining a band for years or simply want to get beyond practicing alone\,\nStage Ready lets you experience live music from the inside. \nWhen you join the Stage Ready program\, you’ll be matched with fellow musicians from your community. Together\, you’ll build a setlist\, shape your arrangements\, and rehearse as a band at Watermelon Music\, a long-standing Davis institution. Then you’ll take the stage at The Melon Ball performance hall\, and a second public performance at a local venue in Yolo County. \nAlong the way\, you’ll be guided by a professional coach with stage experience\, who will be present at every rehearsal. They’ll give advice\, help solve musical and logistical challenges\, and keep your band on schedule and on track for opening night. \nStage Ready isn’t a sightseeing tour of the music scene. It’s a real band experience. You pick the songs. You shape the sound. You play the show. No backing tracks. No canned accompaniment. Just musicians working together to create something memorable. \nAlong the way\, you’ll develop critical performance skills\, learn how to work effectively with other musicians\, and build connections that can last far beyond the program. The final performance isn’t necessarily the end of the story – it might just be your band’s first gig.
